      Sure, look into "Software FMEA", alternatively look at Class 3 medical device software.

      E.g. An online forum being misused to abuse or mistreat people.

      An example I use is that last year, a woman's fitbit data led to her rape claim being dismissed & she got convicted

      but, it is possible to get a heart rate off a chicken breast with these devices. So, there is a problem.

      Foreseeing this might not lead to design changes, but might lead to better documentation, etc. This matters.

      Better documentation for Fitbit users? About what?

      Imagine a device could be used to testify against you. Wouldn't you want some trust that its data were correct?

      Sure. Though I'd hope the device's accuracy is something the attorney would have to prove.

      True story: GPS data cannot be used to get you out of a speeding ticket, but it can be used to link you to a crime.

      Hmm. Seems like as much a legal problem as a technological one :)

      Technology exists in a world where the legal system is broken and cannot pretend that reality doesn't exist.

          So I think the thing to look for here is the right *balance* and not a black/white "Safety or GTFO!"

          The current balance is probably way off in software. To move it in the right direction, we need good examples

          Those examples need to show trade-offs. Because ALL engineering is trade-offs. Even safety is a trade-off.

          Definitely. Tradeoff unavoidable. But prevention/anaysis necessary, and presently lacking.

          Agreed. That said, reality cuts both ways. Technology exists in a world of limited time, budget, etc.

          This applies to all engineering, actually. There is always a balance between cost, time, safety, etc.

          All budgets in all technologies factor in risk. Risk to the company, consumers, etc.
